We’re looking for a founding Business Development Representative (BDR) to help scale Ren's go-to-market engine. Ren solves a fundamental problem for relationship-driven sellers and, for the right person, is a rare opportunity to build a new category from the ground up: your input will directly shape our product, go-to-market, and growth.

You will be directly responsible for building our outbound sales motion and generating pipeline for our sales team. This role is a critical part of our team and the successful candidate will be ambitious and energized by building and rapidly iterating on our processes. It will be a lot of fun and a lot of work!

• Drive sales growth and pipeline by setting up qualified meetings for Account Executives (AEs)
• Partner closely with AEs to ensure strong handoff and pipeline quality
• Maintain active communication and follow-up with leads by following a strategic sales cadence
• Respond, engage and qualify inbound leads and inquiries
• Become a Ren subject matter expert and effectively communicate our value prop to prospects

• 1-3 years of experience in a sales, business development, or customer-facing role
• High activity and work ethic; you’re comfortable with outbound prospecting as a core part of the role
• A high standard for your own performance - you actively look for ways to improve
• Organized and disciplined with the ability to maintain consistent activity
• Willingness to take initiative and contribute ideas beyond day-to-day responsibilities
• Competitive pay + commission
• Generous benefits, including medical, dental, and vision insurance; 401(k) matching; and flexible PTO
• Home office stipend
• Flexible, remote-first culture — work from wherever you do your best work
